I did a tuneup Firefox, where my profile is stored before the tuneup?

I tried to do a tuneup Firefox because I had problems with freezes and crashes. Once the process is complete, asked me to choose a profile before restarting Firefox. The choice is a list of numbers, so I had no idea who was my current profile. Of course, I chose the one bad because all my favorites, history, etc. is not here, so I guess it must have been in one of the other choices of profile. How to make where I can choose a different profile to open it.

You can change the default Firefox profile using the Firefox profile manager. Try the different profiles on your system to see which, if only the profile you want. You can then specify the Profile Manager to use this default profile.

For more information about using the Profile Manager, please refer to this Mozilla support article:

Is that what you are looking for? Let us know.

Note: The Profile Manager can be used to remove Firefox profiles. However, I do not recommend that you remove all profiles before you locate your desired profile as you can accidentally delete the work profile.

  • Where are my passwords stored on the hard disk in Firefox 16?

    I have recently upgraded to Windows 8 and went from Windows 7, and I just forgot to save (Yes, I know, it's stupid) my profile with passwords. The windows.old folder is there, with my old profile and everything, but I can't seem to find the passwords. In every article I read about this, I'm told even "the signons3.txt and signons.sqlite in the profile folder. But there is NOTHING in my Firefox profile folder.
    To see if she was just disappeard my windows.old folder, I installed Firefox 16 and saved a password. But it's the same here, there is no files at all.

    It works differently in Firefox 16? Or is bad just pure Windows 8?

    These are the good files signons3.txt and signons.sqlite

  • Firefox, now sucks but was great before the update.

    Ok...
    I updated Firefox a few days ago and now everything is slow, suspended and notchy & a bit of sucking. There is no problem whatsoever before the update. I want to go back. I don't want to spend 6 hours to try this and and the other thing. Just zap the 'upgrade' and take me back so that I can work on all the other BS "updates" from other sites such as the FU * ING IDIOTS to Yahoo that has made my email life a nightmare.
    I'm sorry. I love Firefox, but this is bad. And I give you a few generous THUMBS UP for having this opportunity to communicate my grievances, unlike much other BS, like Yahoo services. You deserve a reward for service or something. You have email?
    Cheers, etc..

    This occurred ranging from 38.0.5 to 39.0.3, that would be an update of the main version, or 39.0 at 39.0.3, which was a unique security solution?

    If this problem occurred since the security fix, maybe some program files were damaged. To address this problem, the following is pretty fast:

    Clean reinstall it

    We use this name, but it isn't about deleting your settings, this is to ensure that the program, files are clean (no incompatible or exotic code files). As described below, this process does not disrupt your existing settings. Don't uninstall NOT Firefox, that does not need.

    (1) download a fresh Installer for Firefox 39.0.3 of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).

    (2) close Firefox (if applicable).

    (3) to rename the existing Firefox program folder, either:

    (Windows 64-bit folder names)

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    

    TO

    C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
    

    (Windows 32-bit folder names)

    C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    

    TO

    C:\Program Files\OldFirefox
    

    (4) run the installer you downloaded in the #1. It should automatically connect to your existing settings.

    When you start Firefox, is not better performance?

    Note: Some plugins can only exist in this OldFirefox file. If it is missing something essential, present in these files:

    • \OldFirefox\Plugins
    • \OldFirefox\browser\plugins

  • Where my iBook is stored on the time machine

    Hello

    I recently had to install a new copy of OS X El Capitan on my iMac 27 "Office 2010 and I'm unable to locate the file extension which had more than 100 books.  Most of my books were conversions when I went to kindle for iPad and I lose nothing I'd already bought but I cannot locate the library of my iBook anywhere in one of the back-ups in my time machine and I'm worried that I could have lost all.

    I tried to go to GO to the FINDER and now OPTION while clicking on LIBRARY, CONTAINERS , ETC. , but could ' t find my books.

    Hoping that I'm looking in the wrong place. Any advice would be most useful.

    Hello bkings001,

    Thank you for being part of the community of Apple!

    If I understand correctly, you are unable to locate your iBook files after the installation of El Capitan.  I am a big reader and would not lose these files.

    So you're on the right track.  El Capitan stores files in ~ / Library/Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService/Data/Documents/iBooks/Books.  You should be able to restore these from your Time Machine backup using the usual method.  If you need a refresher on how to restore using Time Machine, check here:

  • Why firefox makes several profiles

    My name is Mike from the Support of YER section.
    We have over and over again a user with the same problem.
    Our employees have a roaming profile with multiple browsers, but it uses Firefox that causes a problem.

    There's a datalimit on our user profiles. The problem is that Firefox uses all the space in the user profile.
    This causes an error of storage space, every two days.
    To solve it, I open the Firefox profile manager, multiple profiles are visible. So I delete unused profiles. But it is temporary, because in a few days, the user communicates with us with the same problem.
    I also tried to move the profile of its documents with the Profile Manager to free up space, also this does not solve the problem because Firefox new profiles over and over again.

    This user is the only one with this problem, and we cannot find a solution.
    We thought that maybe it has something to do with the synchronization between multiple devices, but it uses the Firefox profile on his work computer.

    I hope you can help me solve this problem. Maybe you can explain why Firefox creates several profiles, or maybe we can change the path of the Firefox profile, for all profiles including new ones that are created.

    Thank you!

    What is the content of the file profiles.ini?

    Sounds that the profile path stored in the file is not recognized.

  • where the fav icons are stored in the Firefox profile? You can drag and drop on the bookmarks?

    Two related issues to fav icons:

    1 where are the fav icon stored in my Firefox profile?

    2 is it not warned to drag an icon on an element of bookmark on my bookmarks (no icon) bar and it updated the icon? (I have a right-click on the bookmark and I couldn't see any field of fav icon.)

    Thank you

    Favicons are stored in the file places.sqlite and bookmarks.

    No, you cannot drag a Favicon in your bookmarks. If you drag a tab favorite icon, all that would happen is that you would be again to add the bookmark and the favicon may not be kept if it was not the first time that you have saved the first time. Try it and see what happens...

    There is no field for Favicon in the context menu of bookmark. There used to be a couple of extensions available at different times which allowed users to add a favicon to a bookmark, but it's been a while that we have seen this type of extension that was compatible.
    https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/addon/Favicon-Picker-3/
    https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/addon/Favicon-Picker-2/
    Neither have been updated after a Firefox update beat each at different times, and nobody has updated '3' a final which broke.

  • Is it possible to change the default location where Firefox stores its profiles and browsing history

  • Where the DNG profile editor should install the .dcp file?

    Just made my first attempt to create a profile using X-Rite color checker passport and the DNG Profile Editor.

    Thanks to the excellent tutorial, the process went well.  Then, I took the last step of the export of the profile file (.dcp), expecting to find the new profile, when I open an image in ACR.  Unfortunately, the new profile did not appear in the drop down camera profile.

    After much research I discovered that the profile was written in the folder containing the images of .dng used to build the profile.  Obviously not where he belongs so that ACR to find.   I assumed that 'Export profile' will automatically write the .dcp file to the appropriate location.

    Where the .dcp files should be installed for Win7x64 running ACR, 8.2. ?

    Is there a way to set the default location in the profile editor?

    Thanks for your help.

    Custom designed. Profile of DCP files enter the following under your Windows user folder location:

    C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles

    The AppData folder is a hidden system folder, you may need to enable the display of these types of files in your Explorer folder or any type \AppData display options in the folder address box and press ENTER once you get in your user name folder.

  • Firefox does not open. Keep saying the profile is missing. There is no profile of AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\

    I'm on Windows 7 OS.
    I read a lot of similar and related problems anywhere as my own, but none of them has a solution that works.

    I get the error message saying "unable to load your Firefox profile. It may be missing or inaccessible.

    I checked Windows: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\
    C:\Users\ < user > \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\

    Only thing it is a folder called Firefox and in that one a file called crash report.

    There is no not called "profiles.ini" file so I have no way to access the Profile Manager and uninstall + remove manually all related Firefox folders/files and reinstall Firefox does not solve my problem.

    I have no idea what to do to get out of here to go to solve this problem or difficulty why Firefox doesn't work anymore even when the reinstalled.

    Have you tried to rename the Mozilla folder?

    • C:\Users\ < user > \AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\
  • Does not work by clicking the shortcut of Firefox to specific profile when it is already open. What Miss me?

    Well, it's a difficult problem to describe in one sentence.

    I am currently using windows. I have 2 Firefox profiles, and all of them have desktop shortcuts to the:
    "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla '-no-remote Pei"Developer ".
    "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla '-no-remote Pei"lazy ".

    They work very well. The thing is: If the profile is already active and I click on the shortcut, I get the error "Firefox is already running but not responding do not ' (fails just Firefox to open. The current open window still works). The behavior I want is either maximize/orientation of the corresponding window, or open a new window with the same profile. Is it possible to do this? What Miss me?

    I don't know if I'm being clear. In other words:
    -Shortcut to a specific profile works very well
    -When the profile is opened, double-click the shortcut for the office even
    -Receive an error popup "Existing Firefox to run"
    -Press ok, the current profile still works, but new window opens as expected

    You can't open a link if you use the - No.-line of remote control switch.
    You will need to start a profile without the - non-interrupteur to distance.
    Then you can open external links in this instance of profile (but not in the other).

  • Why not Firefox 22 import profiles?

    I have upgraded to Windows 8 and 22 FF, unfortunately there is no Manager profile and no way I can find to import any old preferences. The information in the Support section seems hopelessly obsolete.

    And a Google search brings nothing useful.

    Does anyone know if there is a way to import your old settings in FF?

    Thank you

    The Profile Manager is a method or a mode that can be launched by a number of different commands 'run '. It is available or not in a search, only via the command line - with closed Firefoxfolder.

    Firefox.exe Pei is the simplest and most common command.

    The most common command are the following, depending on your Windows operating system; assuming a default installation location - not a user selected "custom" location

    • On 32-bit Windows: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" PEI
    • On 64-bit Windows: "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" PEI

    But you don't need to create a new profile in the new installation of Firefox, you can use the 'new' profile Firefox created during installation; Simply copy the files on to this 'new' profile of the old profile folder folder. You must keep the same profile name, as installing Firefox expects to find, or you will have a major problem.

    What you need to do is to copy content from an old profile to new profile, replacing the new existing files by older files when Windows Explorer asks you what to do.

    If you copy the entire folder (and remove the 'new' profile), the profile folder name corresponds to what the new installation of Firefox is expected to find - this is why the message "missing profile". And if you do not remove the 'new' profile, Firefox will continue to use this profile - no one liked you just copied on.

    The name of profile (or names, in the case of several profiles) has the match exactly what is listed in the file profiles.ini, or Firefox won't 'see' this profile and won't be able to use it.

    Please review this section of this article to support and ignore everything above this section.
